Yes it does, but hopefully we are passed the worst of summer and temps can slowly go down. I think once I get the Z up on jack stands it will move quickly, just that 1st step of actually going out and getting started.

Hey guys, just got quoted 700+ to install swift springs and rear cam kit at JTran and Houston z auto. Anywhere in Houston that does quality work for cheaper?

Check Houston z auto or imperial Collision, but jtran seems to be a pretty popular choice amongst the Houston z group.

That price just labor?

Saulrvd · 08-28-2015, 02:21 PM

yes sir, i've already got the parts. Crazy huh?

jwick · 08-28-2015, 02:32 PM

It's not that far off. 4-5 hrs of labor and whatever for the alignment.

Saulrvd · 08-28-2015, 02:50 PM

I guess I just thought it would be cheaper in Houston. There's one shop here in Lufkin that quoted me 300 plus 100 for the alignment. Thanks for the input!

Performance shop rates are usually a minimum of $100 per hour, as they become well known and demonstrate better quality (and QC) that price can go up to $150-200 per hour. As you are paying a premium for a shop you trust to know what they are doing and to do it right the first time, and if there is a problem they will be around to fix it.

I don't know if this is the right place but I think I put request to join the Houston z's on fb so can catch up with everyone. The name on fb is pretty much the same gracias

I don't see any pending HZ request so either someone got you in or denied you.

E&J_CFZ · 09-22-2015, 05:20 PM

Alright I'll see what happened and tried it again ej p.
Preciate it

Was the Houston Facebook closed? Went on there to check and see if you guys are doing anything this weekend but said closed. I'm finally not in school and can actually attend events.

E&J_CFZ · 09-23-2015, 08:51 AM

The page still is there: https://www.facebook.com/groups/HoustonZCars/

We have a moving Friday night meet along with other ones that pop up during the week, along with members posting their own get together that many attend.

E&J_CFZ · 09-24-2015, 03:47 PM

Even that link didn't work for me but I just don't think I can get in. So if someone can pm the Friday spot(s) I'd appreciate it
